Effect of orifice shape on three-dimensional vortex structure of a synthetic jet

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015
Synthetic jets are produced by periodic ejection and suction of fluid from an orifice induced by movement of a diaphragm inside a cavity, and a synthetic jet actuator is a useful tool for active flow control. The synthetic jet actuators are low operating

Micro Synthetic Jets as Effective Actuator

, 2007
Synthetic jets have previously been studied as actuators for external macroflow control and recently been proposed for internal microflow applications. Despite the wide variety of the potential applications of synthetic jet actuators, the majority of the studies have been done at macro scales. Furthermore, there has not been any design methodology that
